When exorcising ghosts, it helps to have a medium with a cool head and sympathetic heart.

Constance is a medium with none of those.

In a blend of horror/comedy that gets darker as it goes, traveling ghost hunters get in too deep when the dead won’t RIP

Digital screen saying, "Constance is a reluctant medium with a death fresh on her conscience. She'd much rather keep her abilities a secret and turn her back on spirits, but when her only friend starts a freelance ghost hunting team, she tags along. Someone has to keep them out of trouble, right? If only things were that easy. But people go missing, spirits become restless, and as a building threat is determined to break the barrier between life and death, she'll discover that neither the past nor the paranormal are content to remain hidden. Great for adult fans of Ghostbusters, Scooby-Doo, psych-esque banter includes: unlikable heroine, found family maps, urban legends, fast- paced banter, mysterious organizations, human experiments, horror without gore, adult horror-comedy/ spec 97,000 words"

Tall, pale, blonde woman wearing a leather jacket and green shirt holds disposable coffee cup and leans against shorter, heavy-set, dark man with coiled dark hair, wearing dress shirt and tie while drinking coffee,. A convenience store is in the background.

The words "misfit crew" are at the top. Group of people running are labeled as "teen tech genius, " "punk with a heart of gold," " formerly- possessed researcher," "1/2 badass, 1/2 batshit, " "medium with anger issues, " and "the boss holding everything together"

Re-upload after waking up and seeing a few frames where i'd made a mistake with coloring and needing to fix it, because OF COURSE.

This seriously sounds so, SO GOOD!

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

RIGHT?! There was a feel! The music, the culture, the LIFE thrumming through it!

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

You know what’s up!!! 😆❤️❤️❤️

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you so much!!!

If it helps even one person know they aren’t alone, it will all be worth it.

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Maybe even “organic cinnamon roll-flavored granola.”

Thank you! I wanted to make a wholesome, healthy relationship~

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!!! I want something brutally honest, but still encouraging and empowering, and I hope it comes through.

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you! I want so, so much for other people to know they aren’t alone. The world needs more of that.

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Did I mention lots of sarcastic quips and campy horror jokes? Because YES.

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you so much!!!

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you so much! I really hope more people get to see themselves in books. I myself never even knew what I was dealing with was a disorder for most of my life. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to see a protagonist like me.

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Thank youuuuuu! It makes me so happy you’re enjoying it! 🥹❤️

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

Dude! This sounds awesome!

Alix doesn't look like the media's ideal star, but his singing is unrivaled. When he’s mistakenly entangled in a rigged competition, he must prove talent and passion exceed catering to demographics…or risk industry blacklisting‬

Brick wall background, pictures of stage lighting, city skylines, stars, z microphone, and headphones, reading the words, "Alix had no intention of changing the music industry—he just refused to let IT change HIM. "

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

I’m intrigued already!!!

Katie Bailey @emmacarelli.bsky.social · 3d

I am SO INTO THIS.

Cup of salted caramel mocha saying “central Avalon as coffee” and labeled “bold, dark parts” “sweet, comedic elements” and “gets grittier the deeper you go”
